World Rejector Chapter 8: The day flowers withered
(Nana’s perspective.)The town was alive with laughter and warmth—and I stood at the heart of it.Every morning was the same, but it never grew old. As I walked the cobbled streets toward the schoolhouse, I heard the patter of small feet behind me before I felt their tiny hands slip into mine. Their voices followed soon after, high and bright, filled with unfiltered joy."Teacher Nana! Teacher Nana!"Their faces glowed like the morning sun cresting over the hills. In that light, it was easy to believe that this world was kind.I smiled at them—how could I not?—and squeezed their hands gently as we walked together.I loved them. More than anything, I loved them.I loved their curiosity, their endless questions tumbling from their lips with an urgency that demanded answers. “Why do birds sing, Teacher Nana?” “Why do leaves fall in autumn?” “Do the stars tell stories if we listen hard enough?”I told them yes. I told them that every falling leaf, every star in the sky, every whisper of t
World Rejector Chapter 9: Rejection of others belief
I have to find Teacher Nana—and stop her.I sprint through the streets, desperate for answers. Then it hits me: there’s a kindergarten nearby. That must be where Teacher Nana is with the children. I’m not sure, but it’s worth a shot.My phone buzzes. I snatch it from my pocket—Amber.“Noah, you idiot! Rushing in like that?” she snaps.“I don’t have time to argue!”“When did you get so full of yourself?” Amber sighs, then continues, “Listen. Lynn found where Nana’s hiding the kids. I’m sending the exact location to your email now. Also, don’t forget to—”“Thanks, Amber!”I hang up before she finishes.I check my map: Fort Storage Area.It’s far from here… if I stick to the road. But if I jump from this flyover, I can cut through the forest and make it in time.Without hesitation, I leap over the barrier. Gasps and shouts rise from pedestrians below, but I don’t care. The drop isn’t that high. I’ll be fine. There’s a shortcut ahead—a path through the trees that leads straight to the for
World Rejector Chapter 10: Our Little date
Standing by the fountain, I still couldn’t believe I was here. Amber had invited me on a date. A date? With all the girls in our squad, she chose me? It made no sense.A gust of wind rustled the trees, and I found myself replaying the ridiculous memory from earlier in the week.…“You… Me… Date… Saturday.”Amber’s words hit me like a truck. I blinked at her, processing.“You must be joking. It’s not April Fools' Day, so don’t say something ridiculous like that.” I continued my daily routine of push-ups in our hideout.She crossed her arms. “Are you deaf, idiot? I said we’re going on a date.”I glanced at Amber’s serious expression.Is she serious? I mean, she’s cute, and I’d love to go on a date with a girl like her. But after everything we’ve been through, I hardly see her as just a girl... Maybe this is another test? They’re all girls—maybe she wants to see if I’d make a move on any of them. Well, I’m not someone who falls in love so easily. So the right answer is to reject her.I sh
World Rejector Chapter 11: Improvement
The alarm clock rings, waking me up.The morning air was still chilly, but the sunlight streaming through my window made my body feel warmer than it should. My muscles ached from yesterday’s work and school, and every fiber of my being longed to stay in bed just a little longer.With a groggy sigh, I pushed myself up and stumbled toward the window, pulling the curtain shut. The room dimmed instantly, the invading light replaced by soothing darkness. Satisfied, I collapsed back onto my bed, burying myself under the sheets.I didn’t want to get up. I wanted to stay home and sleep. Just for today, I wanted a day off.Almost a month had passed since I met Amber and the other girls, and my life had changed in ways I hadn’t expected. Rest had become a luxury. I wasn’t even an official part of their team yet, which meant I wasn’t going on missions with them. Instead, I was stuck doing menial work—cleaning, running errands, and whatever odd jobs they assigned to me.It annoyed me.And yet, de
World Rejector Chapter 12: Before the White Storm
I was surprised by what I was seeing.The person I had been trying so hard to forget was now standing right in front of me.“Mio…”I called her name softly.“Noah.”She responded. Hearing her say my name—it was something I thought I’d never experience again.Our interaction was stiff. Awkward. There were so many things I wanted to ask, so many things I wanted to say… but my lips wouldn’t move. The silence between us was getting heavy, almost suffocating.“Mio… Why did you come?” I asked, still unable to meet her gaze.Mio glanced slightly to her left, avoiding my eyes the same way I was avoiding hers. This had to be hard for her too. No doubt.I needed to end this awkwardness somehow.“Your little sister still thinks you and I are together,” she said, holding up a paper bag. “She made a mistake and sent a parcel to my place again. I came here to deliver it.”She handed the paper bag over carefully.“Thanks… Sorry for the trouble. I’ll explain everything to my sister soon.”“No need,”
World Rejector Chapter 13: Childhood friend
A normal day had just ended at Valley Technological High School. Most of the students were on their way home. Some stayed behind for club activities. Others walked with friends, laughing and enjoying youth, while a few strolled hand in hand with their lovers.From the window of her classroom, Amber gazed out, admiring the peaceful view.She always wished every day could be like this—quiet, beautiful, untouched by chaos.Today, Amber remained in the classroom because she was on cleaning duty.Normally, another student would be paired with her, but they had to leave early due to an emergency, leaving her alone with the task.Amber played the role of the kind, model student. Always polite, always friendly.Cleaning the classroom was easy work, so she didn’t mind. But what weighed on her heart was something far more serious—the threat of another terrorist attack. Rumors said it would be much bigger than before.If the terrorists attacked again, this peaceful city would be thrown into chao
World Rejector Chapter 14: Arrival of the hero
Amber was pushed to the edge.At this moment, she had only one option left to survive.“I have to do it..”Ability users like Amber possess a rare potential to reach the full capability of their ability. It’s the ultimate manifestation of their power, a transformation called Awakening.Once awakened, their abilities become drastically stronger, often turning the tide of battle in their favor.For Amber, her awakened ability was called Meteor—a technique that allowed her to summon a massive fireball capable of incinerating everything within a 20-meter radius.She didn’t care about destroying the school anymore.All she wanted now… was to save her childhood friend—Yuki—who had fallen into the delusion that all ability users deserved to die.Amber steadied her breathing and brought both hands together. Her body trembled as she began to channel the power. Her eyes burned bright red, and the very air around her thickened as if gravity itself had grown heavier.“You're serious?” Saint White
World Rejector Chapter 15: Aftermath and Beginning
A few hours after the incident, police officers swarmed the ruins of the school, their flashing lights painting the night in alternating red and blue.The air still carried the acrid scent of smoke, and the remnants of the battle smoldered in the darkness.Amber and I lingered just long enough to assess the damage before slipping away unnoticed.As agents of the Dark Side, drawing the attention of law enforcement was the last thing we needed.Investigations meant scrutiny, and scrutiny meant risking exposure—something our organization couldn’t afford.The damage that Amber created to the school was expensive for sure.By the time the authorities pieced together their report, the incident was labeled another terrorist attack.I couldn’t help but scoff at the official statement.Technically, they weren’twrong... However, it was Amber who had reduced the school to rubble.After arriving back to Amber’s apartment, Amber collapsed into bed without even bothering to eat. Exhaustion clung to

Chapter 56: Digging into the past
The War Doll Project a classified series of experiments aimed at creating powerful ability users to be deployed as weapons. These “dolls” were designed to replace human soldiers on the battlefield. Humanoid in appearance, they wielded the destructive power of fire.Mio couldn’t stop thinking about a crucial detail she had discovered regarding the infamous fire incident that occurred five years ago. It lingered in her mind like an itch she couldn’t scratch.She had already scoured every database accessible to her within the Special Forces Division. Despite her relentless efforts, every search led to the same frustrating outcome: Data Not Found. Over and over again.That was strange. An event as massive and destructive as the fire five years ago should have left behind plenty of records. Yet, there was nothing.Mio’s suspicions deepened. She began to believe that someone within the division—possibly a mole—was actively tampering with or erasing records from the system.Knowing she could
Chapter 55: Fina's Burden
Because of Amber’s immediate and decisive response, the terrorists were swiftly captured by the special forces. Others ended up dying — but was that truly their fate to decide? Did they deserve it?As I thought about the deaths of the terrorists earlier, my gaze shifted to my right palm. I stared at it, remembering the lives I had already taken.I used to fear that killing would strip me of my humanity, but now that I’ve done it, there’s something far more terrifying: the numbness that follows. The way I’ve started to get used to it.The line between who lives and who dies... is not a line I should be the one to draw. That’s not for me to decide.I didn’t want to get used to this feeling. I clenched my fist tightly, pushing the thoughts away. But no matter how hard I tried, they lingered.Hours had passed since the chaos. The hospital had returned to normal operation. The patients were informed that everything was fine, and that there had been zero casualties in the incident. The reli
Chapter 54: Fire counter
After parting ways with Noah, Amber soared back toward the rooftop, her flames roaring beneath her boots like a jet engine. She narrowed her eyes at the group of armed terrorists awaiting her arrival.“Looks like she’s got a death wish...”One of them sneered. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger of his machine gun, unleashing a torrent of bullets.But Amber was already moving—her body zigzagging at blinding speed, flames trailing behind her like wings of fire. The bullets sliced through empty air, unable to touch her. In a blur, she closed the distance between them and slammed her fist into the man’s gut with a devastating punch. His body crumpled to the ground, unconscious before he hit the rooftop.“Don’t stop shooting!” barked another terrorist. “She’s just one ability user!”Immediately, the rest of them stepped back, forming a perimeter as they began firing relentlessly at her. Amber darted behind a low wall, shielding herself from the storm of bullets.“Hold your fire,” ca
Chapter 53: Amber can't lose another friend
“Who is this, Noah?”Amber asked, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Teacher Nana.Teacher Nana stretched her arms above her head, exhaling a soft yawn.“Relax… I’m not here to steal your boyfriend.”She said with a teasing grin.“B-Boyfriend?!” Amber’s voice cracked as she recoiled. “There’s no way I’d fall for that loser-looking asshole!”“Really?”Teacher Nana tilted her head, her smile widening.“Because your face says otherwise. You're blushing, and you just bit your tongue. That’s what people do when they're trying to hide how they really feel.”“Don’t mess with me!”Sparks of flame flickered in Amber’s clenched fist, her temper flaring.“Hmmm…” Teacher Nana continued smirking, clearly enjoying herself. “Anyway, I don’t want to get involved in another incident while I’m still recovering. I’ll take my leave.”Without another word, she turned and walked away.I was left pondering her final remark: “Looks like you're getting closer to the truth.”What did she mean by that?I tappe
Chapter 52: Cold beer and Conversations
“I’m free in the coming days. Is there anything I can do to help you out with this case?”I asked, genuinely offering my support.“Really? You’re going to help me?! I’m so blessed to have you on my side, Noah!”Her eyes lit up with relief and gratitude.“The way you said that… it almost sounds like no one else in the organization is willing to lend a hand.”I raised an eyebrow, noticing the subtle pain in her voice.“They’re always so busy, caught up in their own assignments. I don’t like bothering people either. Even though I’ve been part of the team for a long time, I still feel a little distant from them. They all seem so amazing, so confident in what they do...”Fina confessed, a trace of loneliness glimmering in her eyes.I agreed silently.The girls in our team were indeed exceptional—but Fina was no different. She had her own quiet brilliance, and I wished she could see that in herself.“Don’t sell yourself short, Fina. I think you’re amazing too. So keep believing in the thing
Chapter 51: Visit and Data
I arrived at Fina’s room and gently knocked on her door.“Fina. It’s me, Noah.”I called out softly.“Come in.”She responded from inside.When I stepped in, I noticed the room was unusually quiet.The girls weren’t here anymore.I had assumed they’d be throwing a little celebration—after all, Amber had spent the entire night baking a cake just for Fina.“When did they leave?”I asked, placing the cake carefully on the nearby table.“I think about… 35 minutes ago. They left already to attend to a new commission. They were quite happy—they finally received a job.”Fina replied, her voice calm.“Well… we’re all in need of money.”I muttered, glancing around.As my eyes drifted to the side of the room, I stopped.My gaze froze.The room was fairly large, but half of it was practically consumed by a mountain of colorful gift boxes, ribbons, and gift bags.“What the heck is this?! So many gifts!”I exclaimed, genuinely stunned.I had a pretty good idea why she had so many. Fina was popular
Chapter 50: Remnant of White
It’s already well into the afternoon, and I’m running late for the team visit to see Fina at the hospital.Honestly, there's no actual urgent reason to rush if you think about it. Fina’s scheduled to stay in the hospital for at least a week. It’s not like she’s going anywhere today.No, the problem isn’t Fina. It’s the girl who’s with her.“If you don’t get your butt here right now, I’m kicking you out of the dorm! And did you find the cake box I left on the table?”Amber’s voice blared through the phone like an explosion in my ear.“Yes, it’s in my hand right now.”I answered, slightly panting as I hurried down the sidewalk.Amber had forgotten the cake box and was now making me run across town to bring it to Fina.Technically, this was all her fault. So why is she yelling at me like I’m the one who messed up?“Don’t you dare get a slice without Fina’s permission. No—actually, even if you do get her permission, you’re still not allowed to touch it!”“Okay, okay. I’m already on my way
Chapter 49: War Doll Extension Experiment
The night was heavy, suffocating, as shadows clung to the narrow alley behind an abandoned building.Through the thick darkness, a lone girl moved with silent steps, her petite frame almost blending into the gloom. Her long, light brown hair flowed behind her like a ghostly veil, catching the faint glimmer of a distant streetlight. Fuse.A security camera mounted high above tracked her movement, its red light blinking steadily.At the other end of the live feed, deep within a hidden research facility, a girl in a crisp white lab coat leaned closer to the screen, her voice steady and clinical as she spoke into a headset.Ring! Ring! Ring!The girl's phone vibrated in her pocket.She answered without hesitation, pressing it lightly to her ear."Fuse... Your target has arrived at the location. Your target is the man in the red hoodie. The retriever is standing by, ready to intervene if necessary."The researcher said in a measured tone, as if narrating a simple experiment rather than a m
Chapter 48: Fuse
I know I told her that I’m treating her to dinner, but why does it feel like she’s taking full advantage of it?The amount of food she just ordered… it’s enough to feed an entire family for three days straight. A normal person wouldn’t even dream of eating this much in one sitting.“So many…”I muttered in disbelief, staring at the mountain of food laid out across the table like a buffet.And then, there’s this girl munching through the plates like there’s no tomorrow, like she’s been starving for days. She stuffed her mouth full, barely taking a breath, completely absorbed in the feast in front of her.A normal person would have stopped her from ordering so much, but seeing her devour the food with such desperation... I just didn’t have the heart. Maybe this really was her first proper meal after a very long time. It made me wonder what she had been through.This girl... she must have been dealing with a lot.“By the way, we haven’t introduced ourselves properly yet…”I said, trying
